* The effective image size of the CCD is equivalent to 2/3.2 inches.  
Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC)  
A.P.T for Higher Image Quality  
Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) function is a new  
feature in the AG-HPX502. This exclusive technology sets up a  
conversation between lens and camera which allows for a highly  
sophisticated algorithm to be deployed which will automatically  
compensate the registration error that is caused mainly by lens  
chromatic aberration, and minimize the circumjacent blur.  
Advanced progressive technology (A.P.T) produces higher total  
image quality by linking the progressive 3CCD camera system with  
a high-performance digital signal processor (DSP). In A.P.T, an  
extremely accurate CCD alignment process is used to offset the  
pixels on the red and blue channels in both the Horizontal and  
Vertical directions. This allows for additional resolution to be gained  
from areas of the green CCD which are non-photo-sensitive.  
The R, G and B color signals from the 3 CCDs are then sent through  
a 14-bit A/D converter. Next, a 19-bit DSP performs a highly precise  
calculation* on the signals to generate 1080/60P (50P) video  
signals. The signals are then converted into HD or SD format and  
recorded. By using these progressive video signals, with their  
excellent vertical resolution, as source signals, a high level of image  
quality is achieved that would be difficult to obtain by interpolating  
from interlace scans.

Cine-Like Gamma (Eight-Mode Gamma)  
1080/480 24p Advance Mode  
Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has  
equipped the AG-HPX502 with advanced gamma functions that  
address eight different shooting scenarios and expand your creative  
abilities. Included are Cine-Like Gamma, which gives recordings the  
characteristic warm tone of film recordings, and a News Gamma  
that's designed especially for news gathering.  
When recording in 1080/24p or 480/24p at 60 Hz, the AG-HPX502  
lets you select 24pA (Advance) mode. In this mode, it performs 60i  
conversion using 2:3:3:2 pulldown, which maintains higher image  
quality than ordinary 24p (2:3 pulldown) in nonlinear editing*. In 30p  
and 25p recording (at 50 Hz), the AG-HPX502 uses 2:2 pulldown.  
Slow, Synchro and High-Speed Shutter  
Used with the variable frame rate function, this allows you to create  
a blurring effect or crystal-clear stop-motion of sports action.  
The AG-HPX502 also features a synchro scan function for capturing  
screen shots from a computer monitor.

P2 Recording Function  
Four Slots for Quick Recording on Reliable P2 Memory Cards  
P2 Cards: High Capacity,  
Immediate Startup and Better Data Protection  
Fast Transfer and Superior Reliability  
When you press the Record button in standby mode,  
the AG-HPX502 instantly finds a blank area on the P2 card and  
begins recording. It can begin recording immediately even when  
you're using it to preview video. In normal use, there is no chance of  
accidentally overwriting a recording. Recordings will not be erased  
unless you intentionally delete a file or initialize the card.  
Developed for cost effective production applications, the P2 card  
consists of four SD cards packaged together along with an LSI that  
works to stripe the cards as a 0 Raid Array. Together these parts  
form a single compact unit that weighs only about 0.099 lbs (45  
grams). This ultra-reliable card has four times the capacity and four  
times the transfer speed of a single SD card.  
Advanced Recording Functions Employing  
Four Card Slots  
In addition to the high resistance to impact, vibration and  
temperature change that semiconductor memory is known for, the  
P2 card also offers outstanding reliability. Unlike tapes and discs, it  
has no rotating or contact parts. It's built to withstand repeated  
recording and initialization over many years of use. The P2 card  
connector is specifically designed to stand up to the repeated  
insertion and removal involved in professional use.  
In addition to continuous, multiple-card recording, the four P2 card  
slots of the AG-HPX502 also enable some useful new recording  
functions that are possible only with memory cards.  
• Card selector: The recording slot can be switched instantly when  
the unit is in standby mode. Immediately after recording a clip, you  
can remove the P2 card and use it in editing or transmission. This  
lets you continue your recording work with much shorter  
downtime than when changing tapes or discs.  
The AG-HPX502 records the A/V data for each recording as a file on  
the P2 card, which eliminates the need for digitizing. The files can  
be used directly in a nonlinear editing system or transferred over a  
network. The P2 card transfers data at a speed that discs simply  
cannot match, giving you faster, easier operation. The P2 card is  
convenient too - you can plug it directly into the card slot on a certain  
laptops.  
• Hot-swap-rec: You can replace a full memory card with a blank  
one while the P2 cam is recording onto a second card.  
Successively swapping cards gives you virtually unlimited  
recording capability.  
• Loop-rec: This function can be specified in length and the camera  
will continuously record over that area until you push the pause.  
This allows for a longer record time than pre-record.  
Other Versatile Recording Functions  
• Pre-rec: While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and  
subsequently record, up to 3 seconds in HD (7 seconds in SD). In  
effect, this lets you record footage of the beginning of an event  
when the beginning is unpredictable, like a whale breaching the  
surface of the water or the unexpected arrival of a key person.  
This can give you the confidence that you always have your shot.

• One-shot rec: Convenient for producing animation, this mode  
records for a set time (from 1 frame to 1 second) each time you  
press the Start button.  
Shot Marker and Text Memo  
A shot mark, which allows convenient OK and NG marking, can be  
added to each clip during or after recording. When a P2 card with  
marked clips is inserted in a PC*, it's possible to have only the  
marked clips displayed. The AG-HPX502 also has a text memo  
function. When recording or previewing a clip, press the Text Memo  
button at any of up to 100 locations and a blank text memo label is  
registered. On your PC*, you can then search for the label and write  
• Interval rec: Recording one frame at a time at set intervals (from 2  
frames to 10 min), this mode is useful for monitoring and special  
ultra-undercranking effects.  
Clip Thumbnail/Data Function  
The P2 cam records each recording as a clip (file) and automatically  
attaches a thumbnail image and file information to it. To preview a  
clip on the LCD monitor or to check clip data, simply choose the  
clip you want from the list of thumbnails.

* Must have P2 Viewer installed  
The thumbnail image and file information can also be displayed on a  
PC (using P2 Viewer*) or nonlinear editing software.  
* P2 Viewer software for Windows PCs can be downloaded, free of charge.  
P2 Viewer  
SD Memory Card Slot  
Plug an SD card into the slot provided, and you can save or load  
scene files and user-setting files. You can create a metadata upload  
file (produced with P2 Viewer) containing information such as the  
name of the camera operator, the name of the reporter, the  
recording location, and text memos on an SD Memory Card, and  
load it as clip metadata.

System and Interface  
Comes Equipped with IEEE 1394, USB 2.0 and HD SDI Interfaces. Allows Remote Control with the AJ-RC10G.  
IEEE 1394 Interface  
Compatibility with Nonlinear Editing Systems  
The IEEE 1394-compliant DVCPRO (6-pin) output connector lets  
you output all HD/SD compression streams without decoding.*  
This means you can connect and use a DVCPRO HD VTR (such as  
the AJ-HD1400) or Focus Enhancements FireStore FS-100 for  
degradation-free backup recording.  
DVCPRO HD P2 files recorded by the AG-HPX502 can be used in  
nonlinear editing systems made by a variety of manufacturers,  
making it possible for you to produce HD content in native DVCPRO  
HD. And because the AG-HPX502 uses the same recording format  
as the AG-HVX202 or the AJ-HPX2100, the AG-HPX502 is  
compatible with nonlinear editing systems that support our other  
P2HD cameras.  
The IEEE 1394 interface also makes it easy to upload data to a  
Mac-based or PC-based nonlinear editing system. The AG-HPX502  
also provides a host mode that lets you copy P2 files to a hard drive  
without using a PC.
